But who shone and who struggled for Graham Potter's men?
5. Burn 6-10
Forced off early on after a shuddering aerial challenge from Reece James. Appeared to be an arm or shoulder injury
6. Propper 6-10
Played a deeper role. Chelsea pressed well and in first half Propper struggled to play his passes through the midfield. He and Brighton improved after the break
7. Mooy 6-10
Not quite the impact of recent matches but a good display. Rarely gives the ball away and always looking to get Brighton on the front foot. Replaced by Jahanbakhsh
8. Bissouma 5-10
Was replaced at halftime by Connolly. Struggled to make an impact in the midfield
